That's why I think subscription services are the way to go. I have no qualms with using a service like Netflix or Rdio, even though the content isn't "owned" by me and could disappear at any time. If that happens, who cares? I'm paying a few dollars a month for the access. If either service were to suddenly vaporize, I'd simply start using another service or just do something else with my money.
For the few dollars spent each month on their streaming services I no longer have to worry about storing my media and I can listen / watch a much broader selection than if I was buying things separately.
